MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs that point to external PDF files, masquerading as book downloads. This technique is often used for SEO poisoning or to direct users to malicious content. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass external link farm, and the embedded URLs are the primary IOCs. No scripts were extracted from this sample, limiting further analysis of its direct payload.

Heuristics 2

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
